Needed RDM tweeks after Media Tour

So you would have to use Jolt 2 that much more because Verstone and Verfire become commodities you don't want to waste? That sounds a lot like forcing people to use weaker skills.

I'm confused, how would such skills make you use Jolt II more? An ability that gives you Verstone Ready and Verfire Ready lets you avoid Jolt II more... If you didn't get a proc on your last cast and thus have nothing to cast except Jolt II, you pop this ability and cast Verstone or Verfire, since it gives you both... That's less Jolt IIs, not more... I don't see how they'd become commodities you don't want to waste? Perhaps my wording was unclear, but when I said "activates" I meant it simply gives you those status effects. So in theory you could pop this right at the start of combat and open with Verfire, although I doubt the current Red Mage opener would be replaced by such a skill.

Honestly, didn't put much thought into those concepts, but the more I think about it, the more I feel we really should have gotten something like that, given losing Impactful effectively doubles our Jolt II casts... Something to make up for that would have been very welcome...

I misread your suggestion, I apologize. I read it as an ability that activates when you have both, not one that activates both.

Probably. I think Impact is in a better place now, but if it were me I'd have preferred Impact just take the place of Jolt 2 when procced instead of Scorch.
